Yuu 561-565
🕑 Added 2025-11-15 09:23:22 +0000 UTCTitle: As Usual, Haruno is Full of Sly Tricks
Not wanting to appear before outsiders in Dishevelled Clothes, Sora went upstairs first to change, leaving Yuu to sit obediently in the living room, waiting to receive his sister’s Court of Justice.
Although he verbally agreed, Yuu had no intention of being obedient. As soon as Sora went upstairs, he immediately took the shopping bags to the kitchen and classified the groceries into the fridge first.
Haruno naturally followed him. With her hands resting on his shoulders, she leaned against Yuu’s back lazily like a koala, craning her neck to see how Yuu was organizing the fridge.
“So much, are you planning a party?”
“Yeah, I’m planning to have a Christmas party at home tonight.” Yuu said, bearing the weight on his back. “If you want to come tonight, you’d better quickly establish a good relationship with your future sister-in-law... The current Sora might not know about the tasks, let alone the memory of me being Two-Timimg, so she might be as harsh towards the women around me as she treated Masuzu before.”
“Oh, are you doubting Onee-san’s Power?” Haruno’s arms wrapped around to the front, and she lifted Yuu’s chin as if teasing: “Speaking of younger sisters, is there anyone more troublesome in the whole world than Yukino-chan?”
“I can’t argue... If you already know your limits, I don’t need to say anything more.”
“Well, if I and your sister fall into the water at the same time, who would you save first?”
“???”
This Fatal Question came too suddenly, didn’t it?!
Yuu almost choked on his own saliva. Then, he reached back and patted Haruno’s plump and rounded backside in annoyance: “Of course I’d save both of you! I don’t have a habit of prioritizing important existences. No matter how many people fall, I’ll risk my life to save all of you first!”
Haruno poked his cheek. Her demeanor seemed relaxed, but her nails gradually pressed harder, as if wanting to leave a mark on his face: “The answer I expected... Are you really very emotional, or is it just a Lecherous Nature? It’s fine if you prioritize family, but does your ‘all of you’ include other girls besides me?”
As soon as those words were uttered, her nails also fell to Yuu’s neck, lightly scratching along his main artery.
This was like a Harsh Interrogation—even though Yuu knew Haruno wasn’t serious, he still got goosebumps and felt a little horrified.
But even so, he had no intention of Evading or lying to her. He would just say the answer that would anger her.
“Don’t you still remember? What I told your mother. It’s not limited to just two or three people, but within the scope of girlfriends, I won’t give up on anyone, neither you nor Yukino.”
Like a Stubborn Young Man who knew his mistakes but wouldn’t change, Yuu said without hesitation: “Sorry, Haruno. As of now, I can no longer be as loyal as before—anyone who is willing to stay by my side, I will try my best to make them happy.”
Haruno continued his words: “And those who are unwilling to accept your many girlfriends, you will let them go and wish them happiness?”
“......” Yuu fell silent for a moment, then sighed and whispered, “According to common sense, I should. After all, I’m already intending to Two-Time. If there’s a ship I don’t want to step on, I have absolutely no right to Force Them to Stay. This has nothing to do with right or wrong. I’m not an Arrogant Landlord who Robs Girls. I can’t do something like that, no matter how thick my face is...”
Haruno released herself from his back, and asked emotionlessly: “So, you really intend to let them go?”
Yuu turned around, grabbed her cold hand, and smiled broadly: “So, before I have to let go, I will tightly grasp the hand that doesn’t want to be let go.”
“Then, I insist on letting go.” Haruno pulled her hand away with a cold face, but she didn’t use much force at all. Like a top whose string was pulled, she was quickly pulled back into Yuu’s embrace, who also closed the kitchen door with his foot.
Haruno looked up, her finger blocking Yuu’s lips that were trying to kiss her, and looked into his eyes seriously: “Knowing your Scoundrel nature and not leaving you immediately, that’s the girl’s own fault for being too foolish. I’m speechless... However, I won’t easily give up on my intention to monopolize you.”
“Since I’ve missed the best time to stop you, then from now on, I will straighten you out to get all your love, until you swear to love only me... I’m not a generous woman. Yuu-chan must belong to me, I won’t even give Yukino-chan to you.”
Yuu shook his head, his eyes equally firm: “You won’t be able to do it, because I won’t let that situation happen. Loving one person means I have to reject others... Just like the last task when I rejected you and hurt you for Yui and Yukino. Doing that might have been right, but it’s not the future I want to see.”
“So, I won’t repeat the same mistake... I’m a very selfish man. Even if it distresses you to have to share me with others, I won’t hesitate.”
Haruno pulled her finger away, instead tugging at Yuu’s collar. Her wet and soft lips displayed a challenging smile, angry and unwilling to be outdone.
“Alright, then let’s see who’ll have the last laugh, you damn Lecherous boyfriend.”
This was also a test. A test they both set for each other’s views on love.
Yuu once passed the test, becoming a hero for Haruno. So this time, it was Haruno’s turn to pass the test, to become Yuu’s only girlfriend.
Without waiting for Yuu’s answer, the college student pulled Yuu’s head down, kissing him wildly and fiercely.
Yuu lowered his head, took a coin from his pocket, and flicked it strongly towards the sink.
The water tap was forced to raise its proud head. Water splashed, and the sound of splashing water soon covered the symphony of breaths that then followed. A strange and ambiguous aroma gradually spread in the air.
After a while, the two released each other, and began to tidy their messy clothes and hair.
While turning off the tap, Yuu asked casually: “By the way, during the cultural festival, didn’t you defend me, using the logic that it’s okay for a big shot to have several wives to convince your mother to accept the fact that I’m Two-Timing? Then why now...”
Haruno rolled her eyes at him.
“Are you stupid? Logic is logic, and pleasantries are pleasantries. If I myself faced a situation where my husband was flirting with other girls every day, the first thing I’d do is castrate him. Who cares if it’s normal or not? And don’t you know, that girl is a Double Standard?”
“Makes sense. Now I know.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t castrate you until our child is born.”
“What kind of guarantee is that?”
Haruno averted her gaze slightly. Her cold stare seemed to silently reproach him.
But suddenly she smiled, kissed Yuu’s cheek hard, and hugged his arm gently and charmingly.
“Just kidding~ I understand your difficulties too, how could I do something so cruel to you~”
Yuu’s face showed disbelief: “Don’t try that. The Retreat to Advance tactic doesn’t work on me. I’ve seen through all your moves...”
“Oh? Then, how about this?”
A Sly Smile was etched on her lips, and disappeared in an instant.
Before Yuu realized something was wrong, Haruno suddenly pulled his arm, placed that large palm directly on her chest, completely covering it as if to force a handprint there.
Then, Yuu turned his head in surprise, looking towards Sora who was slowly opening the kitchen door expressionlessly, staring at them with cold eyes. Haruno pouted, a little embarrassed, and a little flushed, then complained to Yuu in a Coquettish and Childish Tone:
“Ugh, I told you not to do things like this in the kitchen~ Yuu-chan is really a Pervert!”
Yuu: “...”

Title: Formal Introduction Between Sister-in-law and Brother-in-law
Anger remained anger, and the desire to immediately separate that Lewd Couple, tie the man to the bed, and hang the woman in the sky, was also real.
However, Sora possessed a Very Sensitive Heart. Her intelligence was not fooled by such cheap tricks. Instead, she more or less saw the bad nature of this adult elder sister before her.
Don’t underestimate a hikikomori.
Although it couldn’t be said that she had Extensive Experience in Spectating, at least most of her time was spent at home playing games or watching anime and light novels. She had mastered various tropes, and could even develop them.
For example, the act of holding one’s chest to accuse another, a similar scene once appeared in a “Cool Wannabe School Style” light novel a few years ago. The female character leading that scene also had large breasts. Thinking about it was truly annoying... Ahem, that’s not the point.
The point was, from her expression, dialogue, to her movements when her chest was grabbed, Haruno had no intention of hiding it at all. It was clear she deliberately displayed this trick.
As for the reason, perhaps it was just for fun?
Sora knew that in this world there were people called “Pleasure Monsters”—they could do all sorts of things that Harmed Others without Harming Themselves for that little bit of pleasure, and rarely considered the consequences of their actions. They were fanatics who prioritized pleasure and had twisted personalities.
It was clear that the adult woman currently clinging to her older brother was such a person.
An ordinary chest grab certainly meant nothing to those who had just been hugging at the entrance. As long as Haruno paid the price of Sora’s enmity, she would gain the pleasure of seeing these siblings turn against each other and a Love Battlefield immediately ensue. This deal seemed very advantageous—the woman must have thought so.
(Too bad, I’m not as pure and weak as I look... That Poisonous Heart of yours, in front of me, is just a Futanari Book disguised as a Femboy Book. I can see it in an instant!)
Sneering inwardly with disdain, Sora suppressed that Boastful Sense of Superiority, and on the surface she continued to pretend to be very angry, glaring coldly at the Lewd Couple before her.
They sat side-by-side on the sofa, heads bowed obediently, like death row inmates ready to accept their punishment, submitting to her who was full of dignity, serious-eyed, and cold.
“Is there anything else you two want to say?”
As if she was the center of the entire living room, Sora folded her arms across her chest, her gaze sweeping over both of them, and finally stopping on her brother’s face.
“It’s one thing to bring a girl home on the first day of winter break, but you even committed that Indecent Act at the entrance without regard for others... Yuu, I’m very disappointed in you.”
“Wait, why does your tone sound like mom’s... What kind of Indecent Act is a brief hug? The anime you usually watch all goes beyond that...”
After calming down from the sudden shock, Yuu honestly bowed his head acknowledging his mistake to his sister, but still mumbled in disagreement.
“Dare to talk back!”
With wide eyes, Sora slapped the table, glaring at him sharply.
However, her bark was bigger than her bite. Fearing pain, of course she wasn’t foolish enough to pit her small, white, and tender hand against a hard glass table. Most of her strength had already dissipated upon impact with the table, so the slap didn’t look threatening at all.
“Just think, if one day I brought a man home and did the same thing as you, what would your reaction be!”
Yuu immediately pulled back all his expressions. His Eyes Emitted a Cold Glint, his Hands Shaped like a Knife passed across his neck, his tone filled with murderous intent: “Of course I’d kill that man, then take you far away.”
Sora Puffed Out her Cute Small Chest, raising her eyebrows like a victor: “So?”
“You’re right, I’m just a Lewd and Perverted man, let my sister decide the punishment...”
Yuu covered his face, completely defeated.
Haruno patted his shoulder. She could understand Yuu’s feelings of doting on his sister, but that didn’t stop her from teasing him with a playful look while comforting him.
Sora immediately turned her sharp gaze to Haruno.
“My turn?”
Realizing that the atmosphere had changed direction, Haruno turned calmly and gracefully. Her smile was gentle and mature. The Majestic and Grand Queen aura of an older sister suddenly emanated, enveloping Sora.
“Yuu-chan always talks about his most important family. I’m almost tired of hearing about you... But, this is the first time we’ve met formally after I’ve been dating him for so long.”
Her voice was cheerful and gentle, completely different from the Full Green Tea Aura that radiated earlier. She tilted her head slightly, showing a bright and friendly smile to the silver-haired girl in front of her.
“I’m Yukinoshita Haruno, your brother’s girlfriend. Nice to meet you!”
“His family is my family. If you need anything or need help, you can tell me. From now on, let’s get along well~”
As if a great sun had risen, that Majestic and Grand Queen Aura dispelled all pretense and shyness, appearing naturally before Sora.
Although she knew Sora was a brocon, Haruno remained calm, not avoiding her, and approached her with good intentions.
However, such an attitude exceeded Sora’s expectations, making her a little flustered.
“You...”
(Why is her reaction completely different from others caught cheating? Shouldn’t she show a little awkwardness or shame when meeting future family?)
Sora screamed in her heart, but in the real world she could only stammer.
Seeing the college student’s bright and sincere eyes, Sora slowly lowered her head.
For some reason, the complaints and dissatisfaction in her heart slowly melted like snow under the sun.
Although hesitant, she didn’t want to just give in to the evil woman outside—this situation was different from Yuigahama and the flat-chested, black-haired Yukino back then. Although not as bad as the silver-haired Obsessive Girl from before, still, someone was once again going to steal her only family, and build another family without her.
Sora felt afraid because of it.
Although she knew, she absolutely couldn’t stop her brother from making the choices he wanted, or destroy the happiness he wanted to achieve.
So, she could only vent her anger within permitted limits, becoming a stubborn yet mature younger sister.
“...Nice to meet you.”
Taking a deep breath, Sora uttered this sentence in a slightly stiff and awkward tone.
However, before Yuu could smile in relief, Sora looked at Haruno with serious eyes, and continued in an alienated and sharp tone: “But I’m sorry, for now I can’t accept you, let alone consider you part of another family.”
“You must be the same. Your mouth is so enthusiastic, but if you really wanted to get along with me, you wouldn’t deliberately play that awkward trap scene in front of me.”
Her childish and cute face now showed maturity and calmness beyond her years.
Haruno was slightly surprised, raised her eyebrows, then propped her face with one hand, swung her legs casually, and said to her with a friendly smile:
“Oh, you care about that? Then I apologize to you. Sorry, I didn’t mean to target you.”
“What...” Sora widened her eyes slightly.
“Even to my own sister, if the time and my mood are right, I would do something like that in front of her too... Maybe even worse.”
(Well, her personality is indeed unpleasant.)
Sighing, as if deeply reflecting on herself, she shook her head. Then, she turned her serious gaze to Sora, and said firmly:
“I understand. This somewhat malicious part of my nature, for your sake and for Yuu-chan’s sake, I will try to improve it in the future!”
Yuu couldn’t help but interrupt: “What do you mean ‘somewhat malicious’? Aren’t you ashamed to say something like that?”
With a single pat, Haruno covered Yuu’s mouth with a smile.
“Stupid Yuu, why are you interrupting a girls’ conversation? Can’t you interrupt in the bedroom... Wait, pretend I didn’t say that. I shouldn’t Make Vulgar Jokes in front of your sister.”
“It’s too late!”
“So Sora-chan, please be patient... From now on, through our interactions, I will show my sincerity!”
“Pretending as if nothing happened?! That’s the most insincere thing.”
“Tsk, Yuu-chan is so noisy. Are you trying to prevent us two from getting along well? If so, I’ll also try my best to prevent you from approaching Yukino-chan, you know?”
“Huh? I wasn’t thinking that at all! Besides, it’s clearly you who made Vulgar Jokes to her sister first. It’s rare to find someone with such thick skin...”
“This is all acting, you know. Actually, in my heart I’m already ashamed and screaming, huhu~”
“...”
Seeing the two people on the sofa before her, ignoring her, interacting with natural smiles and familiar gestures.
Sora slightly lowered her head, silent for a moment.
Suddenly, she lifted her gaze again, and said to Yuu in a strange tone:
“This is completely different from last time. If that wasn’t acting...”
“Yuu, have all your girlfriends recovered their memories?”
This statement shocked the two people who were Getting More Excited Talking, their faces full of surprise.
Then, they simultaneously turned their heads, looking at the silver-haired girl who was slightly frowning with a strange expression, their voices still filled with lingering astonishment.
“Sora, don’t tell me you... still remember about the last task?”
-
Title: Plead for Leniency, Rot in Prison, Refuse to Aggravate the Sentence, Go Home to Celebrate the New Year
Seeing their extremely shocked expressions, Sora blinked in confusion.
“The last task?... Ah, don’t tell me when you went to the Christmas party with Yuigahama and the others yesterday, you also completed the task of getting a boyfriend? So sudden...”
“Exactly, that’s why we felt it was strange—“
Before he could finish speaking, Yuu felt the soft flesh at his waist being pinched hard. Those white and slender fingers pinched very tightly, even twisting half a turn as a threat.
At that moment, Yukino’s face suddenly flashed in his mind.
He remembered that Yukino had also used this method to threaten him before, and he had to pretend to be in pain and beg for mercy so that the Second Young Lady would release him with annoyance...
So, was this a skill possessed by most women, or the Bloodline Limit of the Yukinoshita family?
“Let me guess, right now in front of me, you’re thinking about my sweet little sister who should already have amnesia?” Haruno brought her face closer. Her sweet-scented voice sounded menacing in his ear.
Like a Rooster Approached by a Cleaver, Yuu straightened his neck, his forehead beading with cold sweat, and with great difficulty lowered his voice: “Don’t use expressions like Mastermind Behind the Curtain like that, as if you were the one who made her amnesiac...”
Haruno ignored his complaint. Her brightly smiling face continued to approach, though faintly, a blue vein throbbed on her clear forehead.
“Let me guess again~ Connect the keywords: Christmas Eve, Dango-chan, Yukino-chan, and task completed... Yuu-chan, it seems you didn’t do the Unspeakable Thing to them, sexually liberating Yukino-chan yesterday.”
“W-Wait, I think you have a huge misunderstanding about me...”
“What misunderstanding? About Yukino-chan having two very cute moles on her chest?”
“Two? Why didn’t I know... Tch, you think I’ll be baited by you and unconsciously say that?!”
“The level of anxiety in your rebuttal also shows your Guilt, you know.”
“Ouch ouch ouch... Please go a little slower, that can’t be twisted to that angle!”
Ignoring the two people wrestling on the sofa, Sora stroked her chin, pursing her lips as she thought hard.
“By the way, it seems there was a setting that others would also forget various things after the task was completed... Eh? Then why do I still remember this time?”
Haruno, who was Sitting on Top of Yuu’s Body while pinching his cheek, paused her Harsh Interrogation for a moment and turned to her: “Do you have something important related to him? Like me, back then when I was combing my hair with the wooden comb Yuu-chan gave me, I suddenly felt very sad, and that’s how I recovered my memories.”
Sora furrowed her brow, trying hard to dig into her memories: “A gift from Yuu... There are many, but it seems none are that important. Besides, I didn’t feel any memory recovery process, I just didn’t forget. This morning I even thought Yuu had returned from the Flat-Chested Black-Haired One’s apartment in the middle of the night.”
“Oh~” Haruno put on an understanding expression, then wrapped both arms around Yuu’s neck, performing a very standard Choking Position: “So you went to Yukino-chan’s apartment where she lives alone to party. Partied last night, want to party again tonight, you Insatiable Man~”
Stopping her thoughts, Sora glanced at Haruno unhappily: “You can talk, but can you get off his body first?”
Haruno blinked her eyes innocently: “Aren’t you curious what he did last night? I’m forcing him to tell the details, and of course the information I get I’ll share with you.”
“I see...” Sora nodded. “Makes sense. Continue then.”
“Sora?!” Yuu widened his eyes in disbelief: “Why are you just watching from the side, are you really Betraying me?!”
He didn’t expect his sister, whom he thought would Confront Haruno for a while, to ally with his prospective sister-in-law this quickly!
Then, what was the point of his previous worries! What changed that sister who loved her older brother so much that she wanted to marry him before adulthood!
Yuu thought sadly and angrily, and his neck was gripped again by Haruno. His face uncontrollably plunged forward, truly buried in her ample and warm embrace.
“Well, Plead for Leniency, Refuse to Aggravate the Sentence, huh~ If you’re not honest, today I’ll choke you to death with my chest, hehehe~”
Amid the sly laughter of the college student, Yuu struggled without giving in. His cheeks were forced to be squeezed by the softness wrapped in steel wire.
Even so, he wasn’t swayed by that face wash, so he truly released his dignity and principles!
“Ngh ngh ngh! (Plead for Leniency, Rot in Prison, Refuse to Aggravate the Sentence, Go Home to Celebrate the New Year! I absolutely didn’t do anything shameful to the world!)”
“Is that true? Then I’ll start moving my hips?”
“Ngh???”
“Hey, hey, hey, that’s going too far! What are you doing to a girl’s brother in her living room in front of the girl herself!”
“Sora-chan, you can’t just look at the surface of the problem.” Haruno advised patiently. “The him from before, no matter how hard I seduced him, he could always Remain Resistant to Temptation and not act out. Even when I invited him to a hotel several times, he refused... If now just moving my hips a little can make him Wildly Pounce, then there’s a high possibility that means he’s already tasted meat.”
“Is that how it is?!”
Sora blinked in shock, not doubting Haruno’s words at all, then she looked at Yuu unhappily.
“Then continue. Although I believe Yuu isn’t the type to do such Lewd things, but thinking about it now, there are indeed many suspicious things... Yuu, you’re guilty.”
“Puk ha!” Yuu finally broke free from that breast murder, and immediately defended himself: “Don’t believe Haruno’s nonsense! Which boyfriend could Remain Resistant to Temptation when teased by his girlfriend like that?! I’m not the Impotent Male Protagonist from a light novel!”
“Are you still a virgin?” Haruno interrupted.
“Of course I’m still a virgin now!” Yuu refuted confidently.
“Now, huh.” Haruno stared at him with a fake smile. Her dark red eyes emitted a cold light, like rubies made from fresh blood.
“You’re right. If the facts that once happened are erased by God, even a torn hymen can return. Especially Virginity Proof that men can’t examine at all. Why, when we went to the hotel for the final step, didn’t you think of this and instead left me who was bathing?”
“Was there such a story?” Sora temporarily let go of her confusion about why she still had memories. Her two hands supported the table, and her beautiful face approached Yuu coldly.
“Yuu, even though you did the right thing, it turns out you’re the type who easily goes to a hotel with a girl from then on? You’re still in high school, underage! Perverted, Walking Automatic Cannon!”
“No, I said, give me a chance to explain first...”
Yuu’s struggle continued for about an hour.
-
Title: For My Own Sake, Let’s Eliminate Kouichirou
The commotion in the living room lasted for some time.
Approaching noon, Haruno prepared to leave. She showed no sign of the expected Spoiled Attitude After a Brief Farewell That Felt Like Newlyweds, and quickly and deftly packed her things before heading to the front door.
Yuu escorted her out from the entrance in surprise, while also rubbing the mark on his neck—this woman had secretly bitten him hard when he wasn’t paying attention.
Such habits were truly intolerable. If it were him, he wouldn’t do it... At least not when others could see.
“Don’t you want to have lunch here? My cooking skills are far better than you imagine, guaranteed to make you eat until your Face is Flushed Red, Floating Like a God.”
“Is what you make medicine or food?” Haruno looked at him with a mysterious smile: “Besides, I’ve already eaten your cooking during the Autumn Festival. Do you think I’ve forgotten?”
“Not really... Well, whatever, you’ll eat tonight anyway.”
Yuu didn’t tell her that since he had upgraded Learning to the Perfect level, his originally unupgradable Perfect Cooking Skill now seemed to have opened a new door, allowing him to glimpse scenery at a higher level.
This proved that the Perfect level wasn’t the end. As long as it was used together with other skills, whether acting, swordsmanship, or Bedroom Techniques, all had the potential to break through limits to a higher realm.
For example, the famous technique in the world of dark cuisine, the Eight Demon Destroyers Formation. Although he lacked internal energy to alter the nature of ingredients, he could use various knowledge and abilities provided by the system to realize a series of Poisonous Dishes almost similar to Heart-Captivating ones, truly terrifying.
...Although such terrifying skills, their greatest use for him was to satisfy the girls’ appetites.
Thinking of tonight’s event, Yuu secretly resolved to make dishes that would leave them speechless from eating, their bodies limp until they could only Submit to His Will.
Everyone could only obey him, and even if they reacted strongly, they couldn’t resist at all—thus, he could better control the situation when Sharing Information.
“But...”
Haruno folded her arms across her chest, supporting the Sacred Mound Several Cups Fuller than her sister’s, and tapped her elbow. She spoke with a slight sigh:
“This development is completely different from what I thought... I intercepted you at your front door this morning, originally just wanting to invite you to celebrate Christmas. I had even thought of various ways to deal with Yukino-chan and Dango-chan, while looking for opportunities to attack you and test if your feelings had truly returned...”
However, as soon as she saw Yuu’s figure, all those plans naturally vanished from her mind. What remained was only her in front of him, and the warmth so close, making her unconsciously forget her original purpose.
Fortunately, the result was far better than imagined, even exceeding expectations entirely, leaving no room for even the slightest complaint.
“What a coincidence, huh?”
However, after Haruno finished speaking, Yuu said in surprise.
Haruno looked at him in confusion: “What coincidence?”
Yuu said with slight emotion: “Honestly, I also planned to look for you today to tell you that my feelings have returned.”
Was this what was called Soulmate Compatibility?
The one who loved her, and the one who loved him, always unintentionally thinking of the same things in matters related to each other.
The overflowing warmth in his heart made Yuu unable to help but gaze at the mature woman before him with affectionate eyes, as if wanting to share that suddenly arisen touching feeling with her.
Then, he was immediately met with a gaze full of doubt.
“You looked for me? No way.”
Haruno examined him from top to bottom, her face showing clear disbelief: “With Dango-chan and the others, plus the current tasks, you’d take the initiative to Be Frank with me? Especially on Christmas Day, a very important day for couples?”
“If you really wanted to Be Frank, why didn’t you call me the night after the Cultural Festival ended?”
She spread her hands, as if shaking her head at a feeling deceiver, shattering the touching feeling in Yuu’s heart.
“I wanted to too, but as you said, I had to consider their feelings and the current tasks, so I didn’t dare act rashly.”
Realizing his mistake, Yuu spoke with less confidence, but still tried to explain his thoughts at the time:
“After confirming that the series of dreams during that period returned all my feelings, I kept thinking about when to meet you and tell you this directly... It’s just that I couldn’t find the right time.”
The reason he chose Christmas Day was because both high school and college students had started winter break, so his time would be more free.
Additionally, if he spent Christmas Eve with Yuigahama and Yukino as a trio, then his guilt when sneaking out to find another woman on Christmas Day would be less. However, Yuu didn’t expect the situation to develop completely differently from what he anticipated...
In short, they were various reasons that sounded very reasonable, but somehow emitted a Scoundrel Aura.
“Huh, fine, I’ll believe you this time... After all, everything has passed, and there’s no need to chase it anymore.”
Shaking her head as if helpless, Haruno suddenly remembered something and asked like a barrage of bullets: “By the way, next you’re going to meet Dango-chan, and talk about me and Yukino-chan. And the Christmas party, with your personality, after inviting me, you surely won’t forget to invite the others... So, Natsukawa Masuzu will also come? Have her memories and your feelings toward her returned?”
“Wait a moment, let me digest that...”
Gazed at by her relaxed yet hidden serious eyes, Yuu scratched his forehead in a daze. After quickly organizing her questions in his mind, he answered one by one.
“Not just Yui, I want to reveal everything I once told you all in the last task, regardless of whether they can accept it or not... I might also need your and Sora’s help to explain beside me. I don’t know if the parts that can be said have changed.”
“As for Masuzu... I don’t know if her memories have returned. Clearly, I haven’t recalled the liking feelings I once had for her, and I don’t know what the conditions are...”
“Besides, it’s not just Masuzu, I’ll also invite Asuna to this Christmas party, but I don’t know if she’ll come... That girl, although she seems to have transferred to Sobu High just for me, she always avoids me at school, and she’s rejected several of my requests to talk directly.”
Gently rubbing the corner of her lips, Haruno pondered and analyzed calmly:
“She might be at the stage where her memories haven’t recovered, but she already knows you’re the culprit? She’s just held back by various worries and doubts, so she decides to keep her distance from you and observe the situation first.”
“In any case, smart people will choose to gather information before acting, especially when you still had Dango-chan back then, the girlfriend recognized by the whole school... Wait a minute. What did you say?”
In the midst of her lengthy analysis, Haruno suddenly realized. She unconsciously raised her voice, widening her ruby-red eyes toward Yuu.
“The second girlfriend after me, and above that Masuzu and Yukino, is the Young Lady of the Yuuki family?!”
“Yes.”
Yuu nodded honestly. His attitude was already different from before. He wouldn’t run from the past, nor deny the things he had done.
Moreover, that girl had pursued him from Kuroyuri Academy to Sobu High. If Yuu still wanted to treat her as an ordinary friend, that would be worse than a Scoundrel.
Seeing his so open and honest attitude, Haruno’s hands folded across her chest unconsciously fell to her sides. She was filled with confusion and surprise, and continued asking in a disbelieving tone:
“You really seduced that Yuuki’s little sister? Do you really want to become her brother-in-law that badly?”
“That...”
(If you didn’t say it, I wouldn’t even have thought of that!)
Suddenly realizing, Yuu immediately pulled out his phone, his eyes emitting a cold and resolute killing intent.
“Fine, right now I’ll send the Funeral Organization to eliminate him. That way, there won’t be any Brother-in-Law problem!”
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
At the same time,
Far away in the university dormitory, Kouichirou suddenly sneezed. He put down his PS5 controller, rubbed his goosebumped arms, and looked around with a strange chill.
“Weird, I’ve been hiding at home playing games for several days, there shouldn’t be anyone secretly thinking about me.”
Finding no conclusion, he quickly forgot about it and continued playing the first-person shooter game happily.
“By the way, Asuna is fine. She went to the trouble of transferring to Sobu High for Yuu. It’s impossible for her to just become a Stone Statue Waiting for Husband, just watching him all day without doing anything, right?... Haah, I really hope she can quickly snatch Yuu.”
Suddenly an image flashed in his mind, Kouichirou narrowed his eyes, and chuckled evilly softly like a villain.
“That way, I can reasonably ask Yuu to call me Brother-in-Law, and recruit him to fill the shortage in the raiding team!”
“Hehehe, it feels like a warlord daimyo marrying relatives to an enemy general to increase his own strength. A good strategy! No matter how strong you are, Yuu, you’ll eventually Switch Sides, Remove Your Armor, and Surrender Respectfully to me!”
Imagining such a future, he hummed softly, and his enthusiasm for gaming burned even more.
Sometimes, a male college student’s happiness is so simple.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Back to the front of Yuu’s house entrance.
Without asking for further explanations or details of their relationship, Haruno quickly calmed herself from the shock. She held her forehead and let out a long sigh:
“Now that I think about it, your reactions back then were indeed suspicious... I wondered why that Yuuki’s little sister didn’t want to be the top student at a good noble academy, and instead desperately begged her mother to transfer her to Sobu High, making Mrs. Yuuki always complain about it at the Socialite Salon.”
“If it’s for you, then nothing seems strange anymore...”
-
Title: This is the Taste of a Lie!
His words made it sound as if Yuu was the root cause of everything.
...Making it impossible for her to refute at all.
“So, next, I plan to gather everyone, speak Openly and Honestly, and only then think about ways to restore the lost feelings and memories.”
Clearing his throat twice, he quickly shifted the topic back to the right track. Yuu said seriously: “In the past, I thought this was an excessive action, letting you all be alone and stay away from me was the best choice for you.”
“However, after experiencing many things, plus I promised... Yukino, to restore yesterday’s Yukino as soon as possible, and I won’t make any decisions on behalf of you amnesiacs.”
Even though this was just Patching Up the Deficiencies That Occurred, even though it would make those who hadn’t recovered their memories feel extremely confused, this was what Yuu wanted to do and had to do now.
Nevertheless, considering Haruno’s feelings, Yuu still hesitated when saying that he was ultimately motivated by Yukino’s urging to make the decision, and finally chose to Be Open and Honest.
Because this was something that ultimately had to be known, hiding and evading it now was completely meaningless.
Only Honesty was the Medicine to Resolve Everything.
The facts proved that his worries might have been excessive—after listening to his words calmly, Haruno’s expression didn’t change much, and there was even a kind of helplessness as if she had already expected it.
“Alright, whatever you want to do now, I won’t stop you anymore... Seeing my boyfriend Being Sweet to other girls is far better than being hated and avoided because I become the villain.”
Yuu couldn’t say much about her feelings. He could only guarantee: “I’ll accept all dissatisfaction. As long as you still love me, I’ll never hate you.”
Haruno waved her hand, with a casual attitude: “Forget those empty words. Don’t misunderstand, I’m not saying the opposite, I just don’t see the need to care about this.”
“After all, where there’s one, there’s two. Where there’s two, there’s three... During the memory recovery period, I’ve already felt all kinds of the most painful emotions. Now, it’s just adding one more girlfriend, and you want to expand the harem size in front of me. Of course, that’s nothing for Haruno-chan who’s Immune to All Poisons~”
“If it’s really nothing, why are you speaking in that Full of Sarcasm tone now...”
“I’m dissatisfied thinking about the different treatment between me and Yukino-chan, is there a problem?”
“Of course there’s no problem.”
Yuu sighed, and suddenly hugged her.
Haruno didn’t return the hug, just standing in place like a statue, tilting her head slightly in confusion: “What’s wrong? I already said I don’t need your consolation. It’s enough for me to complain a little, this isn’t a big deal.”
“I’m not consoling you, I’m using you to console the guilt in my heart.”
Speaking in a matter-of-fact tone, Yuu stroked her back, his fingers touching her soft short hair, with a gentle touch as if seeping into the skin.
Haruno narrowed her eyes with a cold expression, seeming to want to say something mocking, but her slightly parted lips slowly softened into a small helpless laugh.
“Hah... It’s amazing you can spout such Trash Talk. The old Yuu-chan has really gone far away.”
“What can I do, the changes I’ve experienced are far more than you imagine.” His hand slid down, holding her slender waist. His chin rested on her shoulder, and Yuu also laughed softly.
“I won’t say the word sorry to you all either. I’m not an Always Bowing Official who’s insincere just with words... Instead, I’ll try my best to treat you well. No matter how much dissatisfaction you have, making you like this happy is a boyfriend’s responsibility.”
“Sounds like atonement.” Haruno quipped flatly.
Yuu smiled bitterly: “I don’t think so? It’s just that if I don’t even dare to take responsibility for what I’ve done in the past, then I’m truly worse than a Scoundrel.”
“...Whatever, I already said, you have your principles, and I have my ways. No need to worry I’ll hold a grudge over this trivial matter, after all, I’m an adult.”
Haruno closed her eyes, slowly relaxing her entire body, leaning into his embrace without resistance and without pretense, rubbing her face against Yuu’s chest, the hug that could make her feel the safest in the whole world.
Her voice was soft, yet carried a much more relaxed laugh: “I pray your Scoundrel Desires can last until the end.”
“Prayer, huh...” Yuu murmured, then suddenly licked her slender, white, and elegant neck.
“Mmh!”
Her sensitive spot was suddenly attacked. A Coquettish Moan and Short Breath escaped unintentionally from her mouth.
Haruno unconsciously bit her lip, looking at him with slight surprise. Her limp body clung to Yuu’s chest helplessly.
“W-Why did you suddenly attack me? That’s cheating!”
The shy anger of a teenage girl only appeared for less than a second, and after realizing she had lost control, it was replaced by a calm and confident captivating gaze.
“Well, if you really want to get intimate, I don’t mind doing it at the entrance, you know? But I’m afraid Sora-chan would object~”
Not responding to that sentence, Yuu suddenly pecked her lips, as if still unsatisfied and wanting to lick again, then said:
“This is the Taste of a Lie.”
“What?”
Haruno was slightly confused, her brain not fully processing. She just felt her body hot, and the wet mark on her neck sent a ticklish sensation.
Yuu realized first and smiled at her: “It’s nothing, just that your acting won’t fool me. On the surface, you pretend not to care, but actually in your heart, you can’t accept it, you want to eliminate everyone to monopolize me alone, right?”
“How did you know?” Slightly stiff in place, Haruno blinked with slight panic and confusion.
“You can think of it as a kind of Stand... or special ability.”
Like treating a child, Yuu rubbed the back of Haruno’s head.
“Don’t worry, I can’t read minds, and I can’t guess everything in your head... It’s just that right now, I want to know if you’re forcing yourself.”
Thanks to the first function, the passive one, of Lie Detection, although he could hear that Haruno was full of lies earlier, he didn’t know her true intentions in her heart, and what he should do to comfort her.
Fortunately, there was the second function that could be used actively—as long as he licked the target’s skin while they were lying, he could know the thing they most wanted to hide.
The facts proved that the system’s gift was never wrong. Yuu learned that behind Haruno’s relaxed and calm expression, there was hidden an idea that had already formed into Initial Yandere Shape.
Although Yuu felt guilty for reading someone’s mind without permission, he wouldn’t Dismiss it. At most, he would reduce the frequency of use out of respect—as long as it was within legal bounds, he always used all available conditions.
Thanks to this, he could act in time now.
“I haven’t contacted anyone yet, we should postpone it by one day.”
Pulling a little distance between them, Yuu looked into her ruby-red yet deep eyes, and said Calmly and Firmly.
“Today, I don’t care about anyone. Phone turned off immediately. Sharing information or restoring memories, all set aside. Nothing is more important than you right now—So Haruno, can you allow me to monopolize your time on this Christmas Day?”
